Her oil paintings are personal in size, inviting the viewer to the intimacy of the moment and space. Her plein-air atmospheric landscapes are inspired by her love of the outdoors and the ever-changing weather of New England. In each of her still life paintings, she defines a distinct ambiance. In each painting, she strives to awaken all of the senses by capturing the dramatics of light and space.
